ANN ARBOR — As 3,000 people wait to hear from President Barack Obama at U of M’s Al Glick Fieldhouse, there are quite a few expectations from the crowd on education. “Hopefully, the government will help with socialized loans again, and the cost of education will be affordable for all,” said 28-year-old Cooley Law student Jason Andrews.
He added education is not a bubble.
“It should be affordable for meaningful people who have a desire to better themselves,” he said.
Andrews referenced Obama’s background as the son of an immigrant and how far he has been able to come.
“I just want my children to be able to afford that, too,” he said.
With Stafford loan rates set to double in July, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, due to the upcoming expiration of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, Andrews isn’t alone in his concern.
“For some it might be worth going to a private school, but for me, personally, I agree with lowering the rates because it doesn’t seem fair for someone to pay $25,000 per year for school,” U-M freshman Alec Lessner said.
U of M’s Office of Financial Aid estimates that a school year at the university as a fulltime freshman or sophomore costs $25,204 – with $12,634 making up tuition costs alone. Continued… Continued…

Ethan Fitzgerald, another U of M student, hoped the president would announce plans for a new program to aid college students with financial woes. Deleise Cole Wilson said she wanted to hear what Obama had to say for college students.
“I was impressed with what he had to say in the State of the Union,” Cole Wilson said.
Others, however, were just excited to have the chance to hear the president in person.
“I’ve been very supportive of the president, and I just wanted to see him in person,” said Ann Arbor resident Nancy Stoll.
